Darden Cites Service To Seventh District
from front page
has also represented Chattooga
County well in Congress, hav
ing worked for the creation of
new jobs for county workers.
He also opposes gun control,
which, he said, is also opposed
by many countians. Darden'’s
stand on the gun control issue
gave him an endorsement from
the National Rifle Association.
BYPASS
In addition, Darden helped
gain federal funding for bypass
around Chickamauga/&at
tanooga National Militar
Park in Walker County, whicK
will help ease the flow of traf
fic on U. S. Highway 27, he
said.
“I've been involved with
many issues that concern the
district as a whole and Chat
tooga County in particular,’” he
added. “I've always worked for
L}lle best interests of the peo
ple.
Congress was expected to
adjourn late last week, and
Lamutt Urges Vote For Political Philosophy
from front page
Lamutt said he feels that
the increase could hurt the
economy, reduce employment,
and increase dependency on
the federal government. He
supports balancing the budget
by a flexible spending freeze,
excluding the Social Security
program.
CHILD CARE
Lamutt also opposes the
ABC Child Care bill, a proposal
that Darden supports. The pro
posal calls for the standm£za
tion and unionizing of all child
care in the country, Lamutt
said.
“The proposal is absurd,”
he said. *'lt really takes away
all the rights to in-home child
care.,”” Lamutt added that he
supports a proposal allowing
for vouchers and tax credits
that permit individual parents
.to decide which child care is
best for their children, without
governmental restrictions.
Lamutt also opposes the
Civil Rights Restoration Act,
a portion of which he said
designated homosexuals and
alcofiglics as “‘handicapped.”
“They should change the
name of this act,” he said,
“because it has nothing to do
with civil rights. It's an absurd
distinction, and I think the
government should know bet
ter than to think that homosex
uals and alcoholics should be
tabeled ‘handicapped.’ ™
CONSERVATIVE?
Lamutt has also questioned
Darden’s stand on conser
vative issues during this
campaign.
“Darden says he's a conser
vative, but his voting record in
Congress doesn’t reflect it.
Darden will vote like a liberal
if he’s elected again. He sup
ports Jim Wright for Speaker
of the House, and he supports
Michael Dukakis, who's pro
bably the most criminal
residential candidate in the
fiistory of our country.
“It's amazirig to me why no
one has asked Darden why he
supports Dukakis,” Lamutt
continued. “I also can’t im
agine why anfione would vote
for “Buddy” Darden and then
vote for George Bush, because
if he's reelected, Darden will do
all he can to keep Bush from
being effective.
“It’s obvious that anyone
who votes for Dukakis should
vote for Darden,”” he said.
“He's not interested in fighting
Center Receives Donations
Darden said he planned to
begin campaigning fulltime
soon after, including visits to
Chattooga County.
“I'm in Chattooga even
when no campaign is going
on,” he said. “g?xltg{lplan to be
all around the district in the
next few weeks."”
ACHIEVEMENT
Darden said that the most
si&nificant achievement of the
100th session of Congress was
the passing of all major budget
appropriations bills {>efore the
new fiscal year began.
“This term was the first
time since 1948 that this has
happened. We did our work
ahead of time, and we had a
strong bipartisan effort in do
ing so,” he said.
Darden also said that he is
not supporting either of this
year's presidential candidates.
“I don't support any other
political can(i)ldates," i;e said.
“The voters can do that for
themselves. Since I succeeded
for conservative ideas, but he's
more concerned with being
loyal to his liberal friends.
That's why I'm in the race.”
IN COUNTY
Lamutt said that he has
visited Chattooga Count
already and plans to be bacK
before the election. "'l came to
the Highway 27 bypass hear
ing last month and met some
of the people then,”” he said.
“My budget doesn't allow for
attending large events or an
overly-expensive campaign,
but I do plan to be back to
Chattooga."”
Lamutt added that he feels
that Chattooga is a hard coun
ty to penetrate. “‘lt's harder for
the people there to stop votinq
for li)emocrats," he said. *
hope to convince them that I'm
not some kind of ogre because
I'm a Republican. The voters
have to see a conservative in
me and vote for my phflOSOfihy
rather than my party. If they
vote that way, ¥ l{)ave a wonder
ful shot at winning, and the
race could be over tomorrow.
But that’s the problem in a
challenger's race.”
Lamutt said that he felt
Chattooga Countians should
vote for%fim because this is a
national race with many issues
that are important to Chat
tooga at stake, One main issue,
he said, is the liberal control of
the House of Representatives.
34 YEARS
‘‘Liberals have had a
3431 ear control of the House,
and Darden would continue to
support the liberals if he's
elected,” Lamutt said.
He also stressed the dif
ferences between national
Republicans and Democrats.
"Tgere is a substantial dif
ference between the two na
tional parties. A national
Democrat believes in a cen
tralized government that
should set all the mandates for
the country. A Rei)ublican
believes in local control of one’s
government.
“There's a lot that the
federal government should be
involveg in,” he added, ‘‘but
others that it can't work with
so well. In education, for exam
ple, I feel that the govern
ment’s place is only so far as
they can do something that
local officials can’t do better. A
centralized government con
trolling education is not
realistic.”

Larry McDonald in 1983, I've
run my own race. I think it's
Fresumptuous for elected of
icials to see to the election of
others.”
Darden also said that he
does not foresee the passing of
a Value Added Tax IVAT)%)iII
during the next session of
Congress.
VAT STRAIN
“I think the bill would put
too much of a strain on the
economy and serve to drive
prices up at all levels,” he said.
“I think it would actually end
up costing more money than it
would raise. Congress should
at this point be especially
careful a%out changing tax
laws so frequently.”
In addition, he feels that
the economy during the next
year is as yet uncertain. “Right
now I really feel that it is
uncertain,” he said. “‘l'm an op
timist by nature, and I hope
that the economy will continue
PRESIDENTIAL RACE
Lamutt said that he has no
doubt that this year's presiden
tial election wil{effect the con
gressional race.
““The conservative voters in
the district will vote for Bush
this year,” he said. “‘but if they
also vote for Darden, they’ll be
sending a liberal to Congress
while electing a conservative
president. The people have to
see the need g)r voting for
philosophy rather than
political party.”
Lamutt said that, if elected,
he would establish three offices
in the district, in Marietta,
Rome, and the Rossville-Fort
Oglethogpe area.
He added that their opera
tion would be different than
Darden’s. “In cities where
there are no offices, office per
sonnel will visit one day each
week and set up a temporary
office at the county cour
thouse. Lamutt himse{f would
make rounds of all major towns
in the district once each month.
“It’s difficult to be respon
dant if you're not in touch with
the peotple, and you can lose
track of your commitment to
serve them,” he said. ‘“‘You
have to be out in the middle of
the voters. The people may not
like my answers when I give
them, i‘;ut they know where !
stand, and you've got to stand
by what you believe.”
SANCTIONS
Lamutt also said he is
against the United States sanc
tions against South Africa.
‘“‘Sanctions against South
Africa make no sense,” he said.
“I think that apartheid is a
terrible and horrendous thing,
and we can'’t take our influence
out of that country. Sanctions
will simply reduce our influence
in that area of the world. And
they pose the question, ‘ls
there a way to make the need
ed changeover without allow
ing the Soviets to iain in
fluence?’ ’ Lamutt asked.
“We need to help set up a
South African government
that allows freedom and
democracy, is friendlal to the
United étates and is of
strategic gain to the U. S.
“I am indeed against sanc
tions, but I'm not a racist,” he
added. “I resent liberal ideas
that anyone who is against
sanctions is a racist.”
U.S. 27 BYPASS
Lamutt said he supports
to grow and expand next
year.”
Darden said he continues to
stand a%ainst the abortion
issue. “I have traditionally
taken a stand against the
federal funding of abortions,
except in the case when the
mother’s life is in danger.
FSLIC BAILOUT
Congress may also take ac
tion during 1989 to help put
the Federa? Savings and Loan
Insurance Corporation
(FSLIC) back on soli(f’ financial
standing, Darden said.
‘“The national government
must continue to meet its
obligations to the financial
system to see that no
depositors lose their funds,”” he
said. *“We could see numbers of
mergers and bulyouts of failing
institutions by larger firms. As
a last resort, the government
itself may have to provide
recapitalization.”
the proposed bypass of the
Chiciamauga/gl‘l)attanooga
National Military Park in
Walker County, but questions
the method used to secure the
bypass and funding for it.
“It seems that more em
phasis has been placed on the
road than on its economic im
pact,” he said. “‘lt's possible
that it could detrimentally ef
fect the people and businesses
nearby.’
He added that he had heard
some ‘‘decent arguments’ in
favor of having the bypass, and
he feels that the historical
value of the park should be
preserved.
“But no options were left
uF to the community. The peo
ple should have had more say.
It makes me wonder, does the
federal government know us
locally better than we know
ourselves?”’
OUTRAGEOUS
Lamutt is against the
United States providing any
credit or aid to é)ommunist na
tions. ‘lt is outrageous for us
to support the Soviets in hur
ting our country,” he said.
‘The USSR every so often
reaffirms world socialism
throufil revolution. Do we need
to talk, trade, or have any
other contact with them that
might damage our economy or
national security?
“We have to stand for
freedom, liberty and
democracy, and if anyone
doesn't like that, they can talk
to me.”
Seedlings
Available
Pine seedlings are now
available for fall and winter
delivery from the Georgia
Forestry Commission.
“These seedlings are of
superior stock produced by the
state nurseries,” said Fred Hall
of the Chattooga County Unit
of the Forestry Commission.
“They are healthy, fast
growing timber.” A good supp
ly of major lpine species 1s
available, Hall said.
Seedlings may be ordered
from the Chattooga Forestry
Service, Chattooga County Ex
tension Service, or the Soil
Co_fiservation Service, Hall
said.
Lyerly Plans More Drilling
Well drilling will start again
in Lyerly at the end of ()cufi)er.
but members of the Lyerly Ci
tl\; Council fear they may be
throwing money down another
dry hole.
Two wells were drilled this
summer, but neither produced
enough water for more than a
few homes. Lyerly buys water
from Summerville, nn({(fonncil
members said they would like
the town to supply its own
water.
The cost of the two wells
drilled earlier was about
SIB,OOO Lyerlg Mayor Danny
Wyatt told the City Council
Tuesday night. Two more wells
that do not produce sufficient
water coul(F bring the total
spent on unuseable wells to
$45,000, the mayor said.

CDBG
The Council also heard a
report on a Community
Development Block Grant
(CDBG) application the city
will send to the federal govern
ment. The money from the
grant would be used to build a
park, said David Matteson, the
councilman who has so far been
overseeing the grant
application.
Lyerly can apply for as
much as $200,000 for ;l)]ark con
struction, as lonfi as the Coun
cil can justify the need for a
grant’ Lfmt size. The catch is
that Lyerly's grant request for
a park will be com))eting
against the requests of other
rural muni('ipz(fiities for help
with water and sewer projects,
Matteson said.

The third provision includes
finished materials in transit or
in a warehouse destined for
shipment outside Georgia.
If voters were to approve
any or all of the three provi
sions of freeport, the governing
authority of the county could
implement it in one year, giv
ing a 100 percent exemption in
each category, or they could
implement it in 20 percent in
crements over a five-year
period of time.
Walker and Floyd Counties
already have the freeport ex

in Georgia.

89.
Name Omitted
The name of Ira Pollard,
mayor pro tem of the City of
Summerville, was inadvertant
ly omitted from a caption
under a photograph in The
News last week. The photo on
Page 7-A was of Southern
Natural Gas Co. and local city
officials at a meeting of the
Chattooga County Chamber of
Commerce board of directors
(BOD) meeting. The News
regrets the omission.
To justify the need for the
grant, an income surve{ of
those residing within Lyerly ci
ty limits, and the name of
every Player on ever[‘]' baseball
team from Lyerly that would
use the two Kaseball fields in
the new park has to be compil
ed and sent in with the grant
application, Matteson said.
The park would have a
?uvilion and a Little Leagfue
ield that would be hfihted or
night games and T-ball field
that would not have lights,
Matteson said.
The CDBG application
must be completed and all
necessary information filed
before the end of January next
year, he said.
OTHER
In other business, the Coun-
background. Officer Robertson told the students how
to have a safe night of trick or treating and how to have
parents check their candy before eating it on Halloween
night. (Staff Photo).
The pagans beiieved that in one night of the year
the souls of the dead returned to their original
homes. These wandering spirits were in the habit
of haunting the living, but there was a way in
which these ghosts might be exorcised. To exor
cise these ghosts, that is to free yourself from an
evil spirit you would have to set out food (give the
demons a treat) and provide shelter for them for
the night. If you didn’t they would “trick” you by
casting a spell on you or hurting you.
PRAY
By the authority of Jesus Christ, our risen Savior
and Lord, we bind you Satan and all your evil
powers or plans for harm throughout Halloween.
There is no evil spell or trickery too powerful for
the authority given to us in Jesus’ name. We com
mand a halt to every harmful prank from young or
old. We speak the scripture and declare that we
give no place to the devil. (Ephesians 4:27) in Chat
tooga County. We believe that as we pray here at
Living Waters the teenagers who are lured toward
Satanic worship cannot shake the questions, the
doubt, the anxiety of such a force in their lives. We
pray for a revelation of truth in their young hearts
that Satan’s trickery will be exposed. In Jesus
name we pray for the children.
